| Male | |
| Idhayam udainthaalum | Even if my heart is broken, |
| Unnai thaedi oduthae | It runs searching for you. |
| Imai thaandiya neer undhan | The tears overflowing my eyelids, |
| Paadham thaeduthae | Are seeking your feet. |
| Male | |
| Vizhi meedhu mullai vaikka | If thorns are placed over the eyes, |
| Kangal thoongumaa | Will those eyes ever sleep? |
| Idi veesi ponadhenna | Why did you strike like thunder and leave? |
| Neeyum megamaa | Are you a passing cloud? |

இதயம் உடைந்தாலும்
உன்னை தேடி ஓடுதே
இமை தாண்டிய நீர் உந்தன்
பாதம் தேடுதே
Even if my heart is broken,
It runs searching for you.
The tears overflowing my eyelids,
Are seeking your feet.
விழி மீது முல்லை வைக்க
கண்கள் தூங்குமா
இடி வீசி போனதென்ன
நீயும் மேகமா
If thorns are placed over the eyes,
Will those eyes ever sleep?
Why did you strike like thunder and leave?
Are you a passing cloud?
கருவிழியே பாரு ஒரு வாட்டி
கனிமொழியே வா கைகள் நீட்டி
மனம் வீச பேசு மன வாட்டி
நகராமல் கேட்பேன் தலையாட்டி
Oh pupil of my eyes, look at me once.
Oh sweet-spoken one, come reaching out your hands.
Speak fragrant words to me, my bride.
I will listen without moving, nodding my head.
கருவிழியே பாரு ஒரு வாட்டி
கனிமொழியே வா கைகள் நீட்டி
மனம் வீச பேசு மன வாட்டி
நகராமல் கேட்பேன் தலையாட்டி
Oh pupil of my eyes, look at me once.
Oh sweet-spoken one, come reaching out your hands.
Speak fragrant words to me, my bride.
I will listen without moving, nodding my head.
நேரங்களை குறையா நான் சொல்வது
உன்னை தந்தது என் கையில்
அதுவே.....அதுவே
தூரங்களும் உடைய என் செய்வது
என் செய்வது
நீ இல்லா வெண் பகலும் இரவே....ஹும்ம் ம்ம் ம்ம்
What I say without reducing the moments,
Is that you surrendered yourself into my hands,
That itself... that itself...
What can I do to shatter these distances?
What can I do?
A bright sunny day without you is like night...
நான் என்பது உன்னை இன்றி
ஒன்றும் இல்லையே
நாளை என ஒன்று எந்தன்
வாழ்வில் இல்லையே
There is no 'me' existing without you,
Nothing remains at all.
A tomorrow as a concept in my
Life does not exist anymore.
கருவிழியே பாரு ஒரு வாட்டி
கனிமொழியே வா கைகள் நீட்டி
மனம் வீச பேசு மன வாட்டி
நகராமல் கேட்பேன் தலையாட்டி
Oh pupil of my eyes, look at me once.
Oh sweet-spoken one, come reaching out your hands.
Speak fragrant words to me, my bride.
I will listen without moving, nodding my head.
கருவிழியே பாரு ஒரு வாட்டி
கனிமொழியே வா கைகள் நீட்டி
மனம் வீச பேசு மன வாட்டி
நகராமல் கேட்பேன் தலையாட்டி
Oh pupil of my eyes, look at me once.
Oh sweet-spoken one, come reaching out your hands.
Speak fragrant words to me, my bride.
I will listen without moving, nodding my head.
கருவிழியே......ஏ.....ஏ.....
கனிமொழியே......ஏ.....
Oh pupil of my eyes...
Oh sweet-spoken one...
கருவிழியே பாரு ஒரு வாட்டி
கனிமொழியே வா கைகள் நீட்டி

நகராமல் கேட்பேன் தலையாட்டி

Oh sweet-spoken one, come reaching out your hands.
Speak fragrant words to me, my bride.
